Crown molding works in traditional decorating, with standard ceilings. In contemporary decorating, or with vaulted ceiling, particularly angular ones, no. I've seen a room with a high peak on one side where they had crown molding that went straight around the room at the heighth of the lower side. It just looked off/odd. Hope this helps.
Crown moulding is a major investment, so you should install it if you like it, not whether or not it is in or out. For creative options, I would look at as many design websites, magazines or books you can get, and save photos of the images that you love. Then make some choices.
Personally I think crown molding is classic and timeless. Using wood or Styrofoam can help you achieve the look you're going for.
Crown molding is generally a design plus, options are endlss. Choose something that goes with the style of your home. Here are a couple links to get you started!

Keep me posted and have fun with it:)
I have crown molding in all my rooms. But in the dining room it is white and the walls are white. I wanted a demarkation of some kind. So I took a piece of tissue paper (about 5 cents worth) and cut it into narrow stripes. I then glued these up on the crown molding top and bottom. In another small space used for a sleeping space for a small child I took a piece of wallboard tape, two lengths side by side. I painted first a dark green stripe, then left a space, then a light green stripe. I then glued it to the wall next to the ceiling and put the first one up, then the next, staggering it so it looked like three colors. This is the border in d.r.
